There is more to the Canary Islands than sun, and there is a lot more to the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Gran Canaria than beaches. The island is home to amazing natural spaces, charming towns and a cultural legacy surrounded by geological wonders that surprise travellers. The best thing is that it is real and you can find it in Gran Canaria.

Falling in love with the island is easy, you just need to take a dip at one of its beaches. But if you also venture through villages hidden among the clouds, archaeological parks such as the Painted Cave, and endless dunes, a relaxing trip ends up becoming an experience you’ve always dreamed of.

In the south of the island lies the fishing village of Puerto de Mogán with its orange sunset. A view as beautiful as that can be enjoyed from Playa de las Canteras beach, brimming with marine life and water sports enthusiasts. But undoubtedly, the most characteristic image is that of the Maspalomas Dunes, rising from the depths of the ocean and easily accessible from the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Gran Canaria.

Short breaks at Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Gran Canaria are perfect for family trips. The reason is quite simple: long, peaceful beaches, almost all-year-round good weather, and as many plans for children and adults as you dare to imagine. From relaxing on a deck chair and playing games in the white sand, to activities such as zip-lining or climbing. The hotel also offers a children's club and fitness club so that the fun accompanies every ray of sun.
